Thank for the compliments everyone I must say I am very humbled by all of your kind words and praises. It must look good if I got the SEEKER helmet smiley face post LOL.

Hey Chris King drop me an email at home tonight and fill me in I have been meaning to add that stupid scratch above the brow since I started and I keep forgetting haha. And I hid my signature in the scratches again.

Micke:Curious. What colours did you use for the scratches? Acrylics?
A:I had more success with acrylics but I did intermix the scratches were actually enamels on this one.

Just try not to be too neat with your helmet paint as much as you can and while you're working on it it'll pick up scratches and wear and tear as you go. Also never weather the helmet in one sitting do it a little at the time. Once I have decided for sure on the rest of the colors for the suit etc. I'll post them just don't want to hand out the wrong color and everyone paints up the helmet and it's wrong. If anyone needs any help please contact me and I'll do my best.

Great job Lee! I've been slowly working on an ESB helmet (Sarge's) as well using the same topical style which is a first for me. I'm using your panzer green as well (thanks). The blue/green on the back and the visor red I custom mixed. I have to say, painting topically looks awesome from far away, but I don't think it looks as good close up as when I masked off the damage. Close up, it's easy to tell the damage is painted on, even after I take a scotch brite pad to it. Is this the case for anyone else?
